Low flickerPhilips Hue LCD006 5/6" downlight full color smart bulb
The verdict
A full color 5/6" downlight bulb. Its white light is excellent (CRI 90, Rf 90), it dims down to 1.0 lm, its warmest white is 1927K, and flicker risk is low.
A strong pick for evenings: it gets both warm and very dim, so it can double as a night light.
